A cute group of mamas and their babies participated in a Secret Santa gift exchange this past month and I wanted to show off {and thank!} our Secret Santa for Ethan's fun gifts!
Ethan's Secret Santa {and future girlfriend} was the sweet Arden {and mama Vanessa} from a Sunflower State of Mind. They got Ethan this fun Classic Doodler with 2 stampers, which Ethan just adores!
He's even gotten good at his cursive skills...impressive, I know! ;)
They also got us Where is Baby's Christmas Present? which Ethan goes crazy over. He absolutely loves lifting the flaps on each page.
Thank you for our sweet gifts Arden and Vanessa...it was such a pleasant surprise to receive in the mail!
And if you want to check out Ethan's gift to Sofia {his other future girlfriend}, see it here. We got Sofia the cutest headbands from Bub & Bug Studio.

And as a last note, I had to share these photos of our mischievous little toddler.
He recently discovered he could climb up on the back of his truck.
And sometimes, he's not quite sure of what to do once he climbs up there.
He's such a little stinker!
And clearly not lacking in the toy department!!
I can hardly believe that he'll be a year and a half a week from today. Seriously...that's almost harder to believe than me turning THIRTY a week from today. Where does the time go!??!
Happy Thursday!!
